come on guys - 150 views and only 1 reply? and that one was negative. This is a chance to let people know what you want them to know about autism, give them some help in what they can do to make your lives a bit more comfortable. Maybe if you didn't write like everyone here is five years old you'd ...

That's really weird. And disturbingly stigma-confirming. And to Gates I say: "wether you're one of us or not, we ARE one of your primary markets. Don't bite the hand that feeds you :P"

PS by "Performative Acts" I almost thought you meant activities like modern dance in the park! :bball: :jocolor: :cheers: I mean like dance or performance art to describe aspects of the autism experience, such as: YES! "We may be a little scatterbrained" *throws confetti shaped like little brains* ...

I understand why some parents want to avoid the stigma of a diagnosis or socially unacceptable behaviour in their children, and glom onto something like this to fill that need. But at the risk of sounding harsh: I don't think anyone, especially autistics, are helped at all by woo and hogwash. There ...

I get hair on my chin, jaw, throat and upper lip. And because I'm pale and dark-haired, well.... it's kind of visible. But I make sure to pluck out every one of those bastards I see. I used to shave but it left stubbles and destroyed my skin, so I decided to quit being a wuss and use an epilator. It...

I usually wear sort-of-fitted but not skinny jeans or pants with a tank top, T-shirt or tunic all throughout the year, but I do have a few skirts and dresses for parties or when it gets really hot. The time and effort that goes into preparing my legs keeps me from doing it much however. I'm very pal...

Yeah, but people are just going to act outraged because they share a diagnosis with a mass murderer. Hell, Hitler may have been autistic (not really, I just threw that out there :P ) Of course it's t...
